If you do decide to post any spoiler at all, while creating the thread, in the drop-down box before the thread title, again, please make sure you selected "Spoiler" as the thread prefix.

WARNING: LONG READ. I spent quite a bit of time putting this together and I know it's long so I greatly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this

As a precursor i would suggest reading my previous post called, "Did no one else catch this? Or did i read it wrong" which is in the spoiler below. For those who don't want to read it here is a summary: The Juubi/Gedo Mazo was the source of the howl (WOOOAAAHHH), Senju/Juubi DNA inside zetsu reacted to the activation of Obtio's MS & the Moon. Resulting in Obito going on a killing spree.

But the way I read it was that Obito gained MS, then Zetsu's cells (aka Hashi's cells) reacted to it, Obito's right half instantly started looking like Gedo Mazo, and then it reacted almost as if the Juubi went on a craze. "Wooooaaaahhh" being the Juubi's howl.

Here is the pic where Obito's body is reacting and he starts looking like gedo mazo on his right half.

Look at the picture below. We see Obito asking "This place, Where am i?". He is relatively calm and collected. As if he just woke up from being unconscious and doesn't know where he is. Then immediately after he howls while looking at the moon. (kinda werewolf like)

In the next page it shows the growths spiraling towards the moon. As he slaughters the rest of the Mist ninja.

And in the last page on the bottom right it says, "The moon sheds tears".

We know from previous chapters that the moon is the Juubi's body that was cast into the sky by the SO6P. And we also know that the Gedo Mazo is a container / Body for the Juubi as well. We also know that Zetsu was created from that container. So is it too crazy to think that one is reacting to the other? The Moon plays a huge role not only in the past but in the future. "Moons eye plan?" It cannot be coincidence that the moon is shown twice along with Obito, who is covered in a armor made from Hashi/Juubi parts, yelling Wooooaaaahhhh.

So I'll ask again, Did i read this wrong? Or is this a HUGE forshadowing by kishi.

A lot of people have been posting about what looks like black chakra rods coming out of Obito in chapter 605. Getting sick of all retarded posts, I originally just discarded the idea. But I decided to do some more research into Gedo Mazo & the chakra rods. Leading me to Chapter 447 "Believe" where Yahiko just forced Nagato to kill him while surrounded by Danzo & Konoha Anbu and Hanzo & his shinobi. This is where i realized how strikingly similar Nagato and Obito's story are and how much the Gedo Mazo plays into both of their stories. What I would like to point out the most is the similarity in their killing spree afterwards.

In the picture below we see Yahiko dying by nagato's hand. For comparison, Rin dying by Kakashi's hand. Whether or not Rin's death was voluteered, intentional or forced is not what I want to discuss, but it is striking how similar the situations were. Both surrounded by a group of very skilled ninja and teammates kill each other.

Nagato shortly after becomes furious and summons Gedo Mazo. Guess what? We see both Gedo Mazo and Nagato scream WOOOAAAH.

Notice how immediately after he is summoned Gedo Mazo launches black rods into nagato.

Now for comparison. Notice how just after Obito witnesses Rin die. He becomes furious and yells WOOAAAHH. And shortly after black rods shoot out of his right half. Meaning it came from the fused tissue made from Gedo Mazo.

Back to nagato. Immediately after stabbed by Gedo Mazo's black rods, Nagato's entire demeanor changes. He looks like hes gone insane and goes into a killing spree. Yelling "WOOOAAAH" the whole time.

Same happens with Obito.

Are you seeing the similarity? Both after losing someone that was extremely precious to them are influenced by Gedo Mazo's black rods, Gaining ENORMOUS power and going into a crazed frenzy killing everyone around them. Yelling, "WOOOAAAH" the way through.

What am I getting at? Looking back at the two chapters we can assume that Gedo Mazo directly supplied Obito and Nagato's immense power, and that the chakra they were receiving was so foul it caused them to go crazy. I think the Juubi is somehow still present inside the Gedo Mazo, and that when Obito and Nagato were being influenced by it he possessed/controlled them. I believe the "Woooaaaahhh" was the scream/howl of the Juubi/Gedo Mazo itself. And in the second to last pane of Obito's story the Juubi reacted to the presence of the moon almost as if it was "reaching for it".

But that's not all I discovered in my research. For this next bit I would like to focus on this page from chapter 602.

Here we see Madara confirming that he is staying alive only because he is absorbing chakra through the Mazo.

Now we know that Nagato and Minato are relatively close to the same age. By looking at Nagato's age during that attack we can assume that yahiko's death happened around the same time (or within a few years later) as Obito's revival. What does this mean? It means that Nagato summoning Gedo Mazo could have been the reason Madara died. By summoning him Madara became detached from the mazo and stopped aborbing it's chakra.

This timeline also fits with the start of Akatsuki as we know it. Yes, technically they were started long before, but they were "good guys" then. After Yahiko and Madara's death could be when Nagato meets Obito (assuming hes evil by then), and together they work on the Moons Eye Plan and they begin collecting the tailed beasts. (Enter Konoha attack)

Thank you all for reading my findings and theories. I'd love to hear your opinions and critiques!

This is very well thought out, I love the idea of the Summoning of Gedo Mazo killing Madara, but I feel like the timeline doesn't match out with age for some reason. Until I figure out all the ages, great idea and great job.

Wow. You took hat chapter into a while different level. I'm going to believe in you. And that was a nice thread! Honestly love it make more I'm serious. And the scenes seem almost ironic. And thanks for this. + Rep

As always from you Akx19, you always bring a new perspective to past events in Naruto. The idea that Madara may have been unintentionally killed by Nagato via summoning the Gedo Mazo was something i myself wouldn't have noticed.

+rep, 5 stars awesome research

This has cleared up so many questions that i myself have been curious about and makes me lead towards my suspicion that Zetsu (black) might infact be an incomplete jinchuriki of the Juubi and the true mastermind behind everything.

I'm currently on the assumption that Black Zetsu originated at the time Hashirama collected a majority of the beasts inside the gedo mazo before equally distributing them among the other Nations for the "Balance of Power".

Comments ? Speculations Akx19 and everyone else ?

Honestly Raiden001 there just hasn't been enough information on black zetsu at all to give you a clear answer. You could have the right idea, He obviously is some different form of Mazo creation / mutation. So well just have to see what kishi says.

Yeah i totally agree there isn't enough current information to go on other than the Gedo Mazo seems to have a massive influence on all the past and current events and Kishi's doing an amazing job with concealing its true nature through Misdirection grabbing the fan's attention to other events.

Its definitely getting intense and intriguing the suspense its aids thow lol

Draxus, You are right that Gedo can and has absorbed chakra from people in the past. But others can also absorb chakra from it. That was 100% confirmed by Madara saying that, " And if I don't keep absorbing chakra from that Mazo, I'll die right away". Giving you the benefit of the doubt I went back and read the chapter again and it did not mention that the Mazo was absorbing his chakra. But given his worn out state afterwards I could see how you came to that conclusion.

Yes I thought about this as well after reading the chapter. It seems quite obvious it wasn't obitos own power that defeated those mist nins, though they were fodder..

Regarding Yahikos death most people suggest it happens same year as obitos "death", since it was during the war. Remember that Konoha was mainly in war against Iwa, and Kusa and Ame are next to each other on the map. It was probably in this war that Iwa was using akatsuki in their war, and Danzo then made a deal with Hanzo, who was also leader of a group of mercenary soldiers. They both wanted to destroy akatsuki, so it makes sense.

However, the information about the location of madaras cave make this highly doubtable. Well am not gonna find the map, but it is pretty far from Ame, and I mean we see Nagato summon the ghedo mazo. It does stick up from the earth, so we don't see its full structure, but anyway it is strange it can leave his cave. So perhaps Yahiko really do die after Madaras death.

Very good especially the last part well done. It makes sense that the Summoning killed Madara or at least began his death! He then sent Obito out to find out who summoned the Gedo and found Nagato! Perhaps!
